Case Study: Sunsweet Growers Achieves Fast, Accurate Reporting with Pathlock

Sunsweet Growers Relies on Pathlock for Fast & Accurate Reporting

Sunsweet Growers Inc., the world’s largest handler of dried tree fruits, needed a better way to manage user access and segregation of duties in its SAP environment. SAP helped consolidate financial processes, but it lacked the security and access-control functionality Sunsweet needed, forcing the team to manage permissions through multiple reports and spreadsheets, which was time-consuming and prone to errors. Pathlock provided the application governance capabilities Sunsweet was looking for.

Pathlock was implemented to automate user access documentation, enforce role-based access to sensitive systems like the general ledger, and improve audit readiness. With Pathlock, Sunsweet cut compliance checks from days to minutes, sped up audits, improved reporting accuracy, and reduced year-end inventory from two weeks to two days. The solution also helped ensure better financial controls without disrupting business operations.
